Notes

THURSDAY MAY 16, 1996 %u2013 SATURDAY JUNE 29, 1996

We heard about this vertical city. We've seen the images of its skyscrapers and expected in this subline statement of towering ambition, astonishing pieces of vertical landscape: parks as ambitious as Chrysler, the Empire State and Rockfeller Center.
...
We still have our initial dream and we envision:
Sky-garden sets back Mies
The Flat iron (sequoia) twin
The inverted 24 hour nature
Ivy unlimited
The restpration of the block
